Tourism and forestry are the races with worst outputs

The bachelor of Tourism and the Technical Forestry Engineering are the two careers with fewer options in the Spanish labor market. In both of them, one for each two graduates have been employed in finishing something it does not require any type of qualification: neither the university nor any previous study beyond the graduate school. The listing with the degree programs with less labor outputs is part of the first map of employability which is being prepared by the Ministry of Education, to whose data has been accessed this newspaper.

The 45% of graduates Spaniards working below their level of skills, according to the first major figures in this report, whose content is partially advertised a month ago. This percentage, which doubles the European average, denotes a mismatch between supply and demand and also reflects a reality very specific to the Spanish market, with the highest rates of unemployment of the continent, 50% of youth unemployment, and the hangover of a housing bubble that erupted over the aires. Slightly less than half of that percentage (20 %) of the graduates have found a job that requires a media training and 24.4 % are engaged in something that did not require any type of previous study.

To develop this first map of qualifications and professional exits, the ministry tracking the last four years of working life of more than 190,000 university of public and private centers of 146 degrees. Are students that ended their careers in the academic year 2009-2010. Among them, doctors are the best placed to find work, along with other scientific careers (optical, pharmaceutical, electronic engineers, ... ). It is the first great photography of the employment and universities, made with data from Education, Social Security, the National Institute of Statistics and the Conference of the Social Councils of the Spanish Universities.

The data related to the sobrecualificacion of this report do not pick up by surprise to the deans and university leaders consulted. "We ourselves we realized that we had to raise the level," explains Conception Garcia, dean of the Faculty of Commerce and Tourism the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM). The bulk of workers examined in the study were enrolled in the old plan prior to the European Higher Education Area (degrees, diplomas and engineering). The Complutense assumed the degree of Tourism - which used to be taught as a degree in an affiliated center - once the European transformation, the Bologna Process.
